Your channel is by far my favorite when it comes to restorations on KZbin because you get the closest to your projects being actual restorations as opposed to refurbishments or something similar. You don’t destroy the history by obliterating casting marks, mirror polishing everything, and powder coating things that weren’t powder coated or even painted. You keep your restorations true to the history of the item and I respect that

A very fine job of restoration! 💯 As a veteran of the British '3-pin plug' fitting era I can attest to the frustration (and safety hazard) of trying to get multi-strand electrical wire caught underneath the head of a round-headed screw (bolt), particularly as time went on and manufacturers liked to cut costs by making the screw-head progressively smaller. The answer was those formed brass (?) ring washers with the multiple flanges including a tail with strain relief for the wire - strip and twist the wire, bend it around an electricians screwdriver and lay it on the washer. Then crimp up all the flanges with fine-nose pliers - almost as good as soldering and practically zero chance of a strand escaping to cause shorts. If I recall correctly they were ludicrously cheap (by today's standards) and should be used everywhere in a piece of equipment like the one shown.

There is no asbestos in the wiering, they are isolated most likely with Guttapercha (a natural rubber) and cotton strings with tar or wax. I love these old machines and love to restore them.

Although wires in electrical appliances like drills get hot, if their fan is working, then the motor isn't getting so insanely hot that you'd need asbestos.

Something that was common until the 1950s with electrics was the chassis would be grounded, which meant that you had a 50/50 chance with the plug in placing it wrong way in electrifying the chassis, like in this case. The older plug types could be placed either way, unlike modern plugs.
@mfbfreak2 жыл бұрын
No. People weren't that stupid in those days. Hot chassis electronics always had proper isolation so even if the chassis is live, you can not touch anything. Hot chassis devices are still plentiful. Most LED lighting drivers and solar inverters are of that type. The chassis (meaning the electronics) cannot be grounded ever, because that would cause a short circuit between phase and neutral (which is connected to ground somewhere). It's important to know the distinction between phase, neutral and ground. Any ground connections to such hot chassis devices, is purely a signal ground (such as for the radio reception ground). The case could be grounded if it's metal, of course. All antique devices i've had in my hands were designed to be safe to touch regardless of plug orientation. It was however a problem that occasionally due to vibration, isolation would wear through and electrify the metal parts. Working with that kind of power tool in the rain also caused many shocks. Van Der Heem (a dutch brand of power tools) knew this, and commercialized on making safer power tools in 2 different ways: double isolated tools that featured 2 layers of isolation (the conventional winding isolation, as well as a barrier of plastic or bakelite between any metal part you can touch, and anything carrying mains. This was common for the smaller tools. The 2nd one was to supply the tools with a 3 wire power cord, so it could be safely grounded. This was common for the super heavy tools. Because the metal case would be grounded, any leakage or short from the phase to the case, would be short circuited, which blows the fuse in case of a 'hard' leakage, or just keeps the case at ground potential when it's only a small leakage.
@westonmarkham1294 Жыл бұрын
Since the drill was originally designed to be plugged into a light socket, it may have been grounded at that time, but someone made a mistake later, when modifying it to use a modern plug. As a random KZbin commenter, I should say that I have no particular expertise here, but it seems like an obvious explanation to me.

Fantastic restoration, as always. The gear appeared to be previously repaired by brazing; was that truly the case? If so, why does it always get damaged at that particular location on the gear? Is it out of round or warped or something? Did you use Alumiweld to fix the cracked aluminum housing? I know, I know, it's on the inside, but did you consider using braided insulation wires to replace the older wiring you replaced? I sometimes do luthier repairs and modifications on electric guitars and everybody expects me to use braided insulation wires on their electronicals. You know, for that vintage feel.

I noted that your hair wasn't standing straight out when you tested it at the end. Was the case still live? Just curious. Also curious what vintage that evap-o-rust liqueur is, lol.

Personally, I have found a step drill to be indispensable when I need a hole in thin material, as they are far less likely to grab and pull.
@somejoe77772 жыл бұрын
Step drills work great. You can also put a block of wood on the back side to support the thin steel and let the drill bit go through both the sheet steel and the wood, this will also prevent it from bending.

You could have upgraded all wire ends to eyelets and cleaned the shaft and contacts on the rotor.

I actually did clean the commutator bars and the motor shaft, but I cut it for time. You can see that they are more shiny during reassembly.

the off center holes for the pin is thing. A soft pin wedges in the offset holes and gives you a tighter fit. It pulls everything and sorta locks it in.

No tenía idea de la existencia de taladros de mano para 1910!!. Una herramienta digna de SUMA COLECCIÓN para el entusiasta (como yo) a los equipos antiguos!!!. Una soberana BELLEZA de pieza, sin duda.
